1.Overview
• The literal meaning of Ijara is ‘to give something on rent’. As
per Islamic jurisprudence the term connotes two distinct
situations:
• The services of human beings for wages – the mustajir
(employer) employing the services of an ajir (employee) on
wages (ujrah) in lieu of hired services. An ajir for this purpose
can be anyone rendering services including plumbers, doctors
and lawyers.
• Usufructs of assets and properties for rent – transferring the
usufruct of an asset by mujir (lessor) to mustajir (lessee) in lieu
of ujrah (rent) payable by the latter.

2. What is IJARA?
• Ijara is an Islamic form of leasing. In fact it is
another form of mark-up structure. Here the bank
buys capital equipment or property and leases it
out under instalment plans to end users.
• As in conventional leasing there may be an
option to buy the goods at the end of the Ijara
built into the contracts. This would be an Ijara wa
Iqtina contract. The instalments consist of rental
for use and part repayment of capital.

6. Ijara and Ijara wa Iqtina
• Ijara and Ijara wa Iqtina (also sometimes known as Ijara
Muntahia Bittamleek and defined in detail below) are
unanimously considered by the Islamic scholars as
permissible modes of finance under the Sharia’a, applying
the leasing mode of finance.
• The Islamic Development Bank (IDB), the largest trade
financing institution in the Islamic world, defines leasing as
a ‘medium-term mode of financing, which involves
purchasing, and subsequently transferring, the right of use
of equipment and machinery to the beneficiary for a
specific period of time, during which time the IDB retains
the ownership of the asset’.

7. IJARA components
• Under the Ijara mode of financing, the bank would buy the
equipment or machinery and lease it out to its clients who
may opt to buy the items eventually. In the latter case the
monthly payments will consist of two components:
• first, rental for the use of the equipment.
• second, instalments towards the purchase price. The
original amount of the rent for the leased assets should be
fixed in advance.
